Do I Need a Certified Translation for My Academic Documents?

International students who are preparing their application for the fall semester at a college in Los Angeles or other cities in the United States often wonder whether they need a certified translation or non-certified translations will serve their purposes. Some applicants have conducted their research and looked into the requirements of the programs they are interested in and know that they have to provide a certified translation of their academic documents.

They seek academic document translation services when they contact us. They ask questions such as what our turnaround time for the translation of school transcripts is. They might even ask whether we can send the hard copies directly to the admissions office. They ask whether we have translated academic documents for Santa Monica College or other local schools. Such individuals know that they need a certified translation of their diplomas and academic records. Some schools require a certified and notarized translation.

While we can tell them from our experience that most foreigners get a certified translation we cannot guarantee that they won’t need notarization.
